The New Forest & Hampshire County Show has opened its doors to visitors.

It is the 97th time the show in Brockenhurst has been held since 1920 , having only been cancelled for the Great Depression, World War Two and the Covid pandemic.

CEO Denis Dooley told the BBC: "We bring the New Forest together for three days... and while people are here we want them to learn, to educate, and just have a great time."

Enjoy some snaps from the event, which began on Tuesday and runs until Thursday.
